"My concern that even if it is $15 billion that is netted, whether it's actually going to pay off debt as the Premier has said or whether it will continue to pay for services or whether it will get back the triple-A credit rating or whether it will restore lost revenue," he said.

"I doubt whether they're going to get $15 billion."

Mr Fraser says he is not surprised that some fund managers have talked down the price.

"I would have fallen off by chair if any of them had said something different," he said.

"What I am confident about is it will price between $2.50 and $3.00 as we said and that that will deliver a transaction of value to taxpayers."

The jobs of Port of Brisbane workers have been guaranteed for three years, but that has not satisfied Mick Carr from the Maritime Union.

"Getting a guarantee for three years is pretty useless really because after three years they can do whatever they want," he said.

"We've still got people indirectly employed that work in the port, that work under a whole range of enterprise agreements and they exhaust at various times."

'Water assets'

Meanwhile, Mr Langbroek says Brisbane Lord Mayor Campbell Newman was not serious in suggesting asset sale proceeds could be used to reduce household water prices.

Councillor Newman this week named a number of State revenue sources that could be used to write down the cost of water infrastructure, including privatisation revenue.

Mr Langbroek says his Liberal National Party (LNP) colleague is frustrated by the "blame game" between the State Government and councils over water prices.

"I think that was just Campbell Newman saying 'let's get this issue off the front page'," he said.

"I don't think even he was seriously considering that the proceeds could be applied in the way that he wanted."
